Harold is absolutely wonderful. I have been renting a violin from him for 3 or 4 years now (I am 26 years old) and he has always been extremely helpful and considerate. He has a wide variety of beautiful instruments in his shop to choose from. You can rent, or rent-to-buy.. which is great because I am on a student budget! I believe he also gives lessons, and I think his son teaches violin as well. Overall, absolutely wonderful to work with, very knowledgeable, and I would recommend him to anyone who asks!

Harold Golden is an award-winning violin craftsman and a wonderful teacher. He puts children at ease and is very relaxed in his approach to teaching. But he inspires kids to practice and treats them as musicians from day 1. He is easy-going and genuinely interested in people and their engagement with and enjoyment of music. He rents and repairs violins – he just exchanges instruments when you need another one. He works with many children and adults, in just about every stringed instrument including violins, viola, bass, mandolin, and guitar. His workshop is right in Chestnut Hill, which makes it very easy to run a few errands while your kids are at their lesson or afterwards. Plenty of parking and very fare rates, plus his students’ success getting into CAPA and other schools make for the perfect package.
